Handheld computer: Rugged tablet now available with Windows 10 | Handheld Delivery Device

Benchmarks do not always fairly represent any given piece of hardware though and that is certainly the case here. Although the display size is such that it really makes almost no sense to download anything with lots of on-screen controls, we were able to run through a dozen or so races on Asphalt 9: Legends with no signs of lag in sight. The main driving method in that game is fairly hands-off, making for a great experience — setting aside the very low screen resolution and the need for the smartphone to be held as near the face as comfortably possible. Other apps such as Helix Jump were not quite so much fun due to the need to swipe across the screen, blocking almost the entire view and making accurate play impossible. To the contrary, using intensive photo editing apps like Prisma or Pixlr was equally smooth and similarly only hampered by the scale of the viewing real estate. So using this smartphone just like any other isn’t completely out of the question under the majority of circumstances for those who won’t be bothered by the tiny display.

The battery life, camera, screen and storage capacity are all very good, ticking many of the boxes that people are most concerned about.

●     Holographic displays are interactive 3D projections that can be shared with customers,                       collaborators, and friends. The Looking Glass device offers holographic displays of everything               from imaginary creatures to architecture plans.

Overall, it is not a screen you will enjoy looking at for long periods of time, but we suppose that is fine given the nature of the device. The Unihertz Atom doesn’t need a good screen, it just needs to be usable — and this one certainly is (even if just barely). Not to mention those who buy this phone aren’t exactly looking for a media-consumption device.

The dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC measures 6.5 x 3.3 x 0.8 inches thin and weighs less than 11 ounces. It features a five-button, on-device navigation system to enable up/down, left/right toggles, as well as an enter button.

The camera hardware used in OUKITEL’s WP1 is relatively common for smartphones in both the budget and mid-range categories but that doesn’t mean it’s terrible. Sensor technology has come a long way over the past several years, with even cheaper cameras performing pretty well. Color capture here is pretty accurate and remains so even in fairly poor lighting conditions but we did notice some serious oversaturation at the other extreme. There is, of course, still plenty of noise in low-light snaps but not to such a degree as is often seen at the lower end of the market. Those shots won’t be nearly as bright as those captured with most flagships but it is good to see that there is some improvement there. Focusing is also a bit quicker than typically seen in the price bracket and the UI is generally very smooth.

Holiday parties were right around the corner, and I needed a cover story. I didn’t feel like admitting to casual acquaintances, or even to some good friends, that I drive a van for Amazon. I decided to tell them, if asked, that I consult for Amazon, which is loosely true: I spend my days consulting a Rabbit, the handheld Android device loaded with the app that tells me where my next stop is, how many packages are coming off the van, and how hopelessly behind I’ve fallen.

Applications for the Spider are similar to the Eva, just for smaller components with tighter tolerances. “The field of view of the Spider is a lot smaller than the field of view of the Eva. So you’re also going to have size limitations.”

Planet Computer introduced the Gemini PDA nearly a year ago and launched a crowdfunding campaign to take the device from prototype to shipping product. Now it’s about ready to ship.

CareView Communications (OTCMKTS:CRVW) and QUALCOMM (NASDAQ:QCOM) are both medical companies, but which is the better business? We will contrast the two businesses based on the strength of their profitability, analyst recommendations, institutional ownership, risk, earnings, dividends and valuation.

I wasn’t expecting much, but the Unihertz Atom camera went even lower than my underestimations. Images seem washed off, colors are dull, exposure is always off, there is often weird artifacting in direct light, and detail is lacking.
